For Employees*:
Employee financial stress directly negatively impacts employee
productivity and company profitability.
40% of employees earning more than $75,000 “sometimes have
trouble paying bills”. This includes 12% of respondents earning more
than $150,000.
Employee Financial Concerns
Top concern among full-time employees (63%) is having enough
money to pay bills during a period of sudden income loss.
Retirement:
Only 50% of employees own life insurance for themselves and 58%
have disability coverage.
Even among those with coverage, nearly half (45% for life, 43%
for disability) admit that the amount of their coverage is inadequate.
Meeting the Financial
Needs of Employees
- Financial planning guidance.
-
Employers can help employees use their benefits to build a
financial safety net for their retirement years. Most employees are
far behind where they should be in their savings.
-
With traditional pensions phasing out, an attractive
approach may be offering employees annuities within plans to allow more
long-term options. Disability insurance and long-term care insurance
can also be attractive ways to reduce employee concerns.
We Can Help Employers Improve Retention
Since the 5th annual MetLife Study of Employee Benefits Trends
found employee retention outranked cost control as the No. 1 benefits objective
of benefit managers, post-retirement benefits have emerged as one area where the
competitive stakes are rising for attracting and retaining the best and
brightest employees. The data shows that working Americans are concerned about
having enough money to retire.
